Description

An older neighborhood of tree-lined streets, porch-front row homes and free-standing houses with peaked roofs and dormers, some with large front yards. Served by commercial districts on Reisterstown Road and Park Heights Avenue. Population, formerly solid Jewish, is now mixed Afro-American and Jewish with all residents working for community revitalization.

History

 Originally a Jewish enclave housing many upper-scale professionals, the neighborhood is evolving into a neighborhood of choice for middle-income Afro-American and Asian families.
